The Life of Jesus
Text: _[Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus might be made manifest in our body…_ 2 Corinthians 4:10
Jesus Christ is the greatest person who ever lived. His moral character, His teachings, and His influence upon history demonstrate that He is indeed God. Through two thousand years of advancements in education, technology, philosophy, medicine, and science, mankind has never produced a person who is worthy to be compared with Jesus. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Greatest of all times, and in all ramifications. Matthew 8:27 says, “And the men marvelled, saying, what manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
His divinity and humanity are without parallel. His life, death, and resurrection were mandatory for man's salvation. With His ascension into Heaven, He completed His mission and made possible man's restoration to his original destiny. Such a Man should be studied. Paul said “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” (Philippians 3:10). To successfully chart the course of our life, we must walk and work in the pattern of Jesus Who gave us life to live. We must learn to know how He lived and conquered this earth while He was bodily on earth. We must learn how He handled issues and responded to situations. Believers are admonished not to conform to this world: but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:2), rather, we are to imitate Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). This month, we shall learn the life and ways of Jesus and! seek to emulate Him daily.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for giving Jesus to us. I pray that You grant me insight into the revelation of Your Son and help me to emulate Him, in Jesus’ Name.
